I used to do 10 cent drafts up in Burlington on Tuesday nights. That did some damage. I’ll just say that I don’t think Milwaukee’s Best actually is.  

There was a place near Worcester we would go to on Monday nights, 25 cent drafts, nasty stuff but when your in school every penny counts, those nights usually ended with a brawl and cops coming.

Never even noticed this.  I just remember in college they had Happy Hour but they got you with free food.  I guess the booze wasn’t discounted but the way around that is “all you can eat free wings from 4-6pm.”

I guess I didn’t realize how it was done but it felt like “happy hour” with everyone going and buying pitchers of beer while they bring you free food like nachos, wings, mozzarella sticks or other stuff.

When I was in School on Fridays we'd go into Boston and get 2 for 1 plus they all had appetizers, all you can eat, that was our dinner on Fridays.

Our local Chinese joint makes hella good mai tais to go.    I find it funny that the only opposition was from liquor store associations.   Apples and oranges. 
 

Went to our first public movie showing last night at our local family owned theater.  We had booked it out three times for private shows over the last year 

Hubbytown has a theater?

What's your earliest date of fall snow Jspin. We get October snow down south, do you get Sept snow?

I didn't submit a bid this time, had no feeling for who could win and looking at the leaderboard I think I saved $20.

Spent the week in St Maarten. Talk about great weather for outdoor activities lol! The temperature is pretty much perfect. 

I was just down at the Maya Riviera, beautiful down there too.

Red Mulch use is an absolute crime. Shouldn't even be sold. 

Isn't red mulch chopped up pallets dyed red?

We got hooked on "Alone" a couple years ago when they made it more challenging by staging in northern Canada rather than at temperate locations.

Im hooked too, my favorite part is when they build the shelters, some are really nice and some are simple.

Garrett Richards pitching well... and then just crushing an RBI double, one-hopping the wall, against the Braves.  This game in Atlanta sounds like a home game for the Sox, the Braves fans hate it.

I love when a Red Sox pitcher gets to hit and absolutely smokes a ball.  104mph exit velo, ha!

This post didn't age well although they got to the bullpen again and are up.

Interesting. Some books aren’t because a WD is a WD so unless you finish 72 holes with the least amount of strokes, you did not win. 

The business they gain from that move will pay off in spades.

Let me know if you want one of the T-shirts....

I have a brother in law from Billlerica, heavy heavy accent, almost sounds like Billwicka

Hottest place on earth today

U.S. likely claims hottest place on Earth as heat tightens grip on more than 100 million (yahoo.com)

You're not sweating, must be a dry heat.

I went out into my backyard for 5 minutes… came in and have 7! Ticks on my t shirt… what the heck is up with that?

They're terrible this year, spray before you go outside, even in the lawn unless it's treated.

SOX WIN!!!

Vladdy Jr is something else.  Home run #22 to tie it against the Sox in the bottom of the 9th.  Barnes was cruising with two quick strikeouts.  That's a sickening feeling... 451 feet to tie the game with 2 outs in the 9th.

Creamed a hanger, 451 feet

Not sure what I got total but it poured for awhile.

113 out here in the dessert

I always wanted to experience -50 and 120, I kind of experienced -50 at Skagway, they had a gold mining attraction and they had a freezer room that was -50 but you knew you could open the door and it was 50 so not the same but hurt nonetheless.

New England has some amazing stone walls, love those too.  I built a couple hundred feet of stone walls all from rocks hand picked from my woods-that was alot of work..lol

Just think the settlers built all those walls as they dug up the field for crops and the stone walls were fencing, talk about a lot of work. My current house is on what was a large cow farm years ago, stone walls are still there but the farm got chopped up into house lots we all have 1-2+ acres so we're spread out.

Nice looking beds, for sure!  And I agree on the rock.  We had at least 100' of stone wall in front of our place that was built extremely poorly by the previous owner and it all collapsed, so I've been taking it apart and moving it by hand.  This was after I spent at least 30-40 hours rebuilding a section correctly that the wife later decided she no longer wanted.  But now I have a LOT of nice stones to use for mini walls and beds.

I have a 350 foot stone wall that was partially in disarray when we bought the land. I've slowly rebuilt it over the years even though I was told it was illegal since it's a boundary wall, no one complained and it looks good.

Raining pretty decent now

Love it, nice use of the natural landscape, people would pay good money to have some hardscape rocks like that put into their landscape. Personally, larger rocks/boulders/ledge combined into garden beds with perennials or evergreens is one of my favorite looks. 

When I put my lawn in I dug up some big boulders and used them in the landscape, they look good and the less distance I had to move them the better because they're frigging heavy.

Got out to play some golf this evening up in Essex. This is looking east from the fairway of the 18th at Essex Country Club. 

 

I love playing in the mountains, you can see the whole flight of the ball.

Thats the life. We have lots of Ospreys. I watched as the male and female taught the young un how to fish by folding their wings and dive bombing. Still one of my coolest nature scenes. 

My brother in law has a family on top of his cell tower every year, there's always a bunch of fish bones piled up at the bottom of the tower.

I loved Mookie but glad we got a young Verdugo in return.
